This module provides a simple export operation automatically for messages from each created contact form. It exports all fields and base data about the submission (such as logged in user and date submitted). It also handles fields that allow multiple options to be selected. This module requires Contact Storage.
Installation
To install this module, place it in your modules folder and enable it on the
modules page.
Configuration
There is nothing yet to configure. I would welcome suggestions as to what sort
of configuration would be useful for your various use cases. If you wish to allow roles other than administrators to export form submissions, you should give them the 'Export contact form messages' permission.
How to use this module
Users with the 'Export contact form messages' will find an Export operation in the list of operations on the page containing the list of all contact forms. You can find that at `/admin/structure/contact`.
Alternatives to this module
You can set up individual views using the `Views Data Export` project. Both use the `CSV Serialization` project under the hood. This module differs in that you can allow editors to set up forms and the export functionality will automatically be available, while the Views method requires you set up a view for each newly created form. At the moment the Views method will allow further control over the output (but feature requests are welcome).
Export formats
This module currently supports exports for use in common spreadsheet programs such as Excel, Sheets, Numbers, etc using the CSV format via the CSV Serialization module.
Feedback on this module
Please add issues with feature requests as well as feedback on the existing functionality.
